The 1 mile run/walk starts at 9:30 a.m. and the 10K starts approximately at 10:10 a.m. PLEASE NOTE THE TIME CHANGE ON THE 1 MILE RUN/WALK. To allow more time between the 1 mile run/walk and the start of the 10K we have moved the start time of the 1 mile run up.

RACE DAY AWARDS:
Awards will be given; including overall awards, age group awards, and walker awards. Awards are based on 5-year age groups. And please remember: IF YOU ARE SIGNED UP AS A WALKER, PLEASE DO NOT RUN! We have competitive walkers who work hard and it wouldnt be fair for a someone to run part of the race and beat out a competitive walker who walked the complete event.

The 1 Mile runners and walkers will receive a finisher medal.

Costume Contest/Giveaway:
Extend the Halloween fun and show up on race day in your Halloween costume! We will be holding a costume contest this year. Two winners will be selected; one by popular vote and one selected by the race director. Not interested in dressing up? No worries! We will be doing a third giveaway by a random bib draw. Each winner must be present to win. All will be awarded after medals have been given out after the race. Winners can expect a prize of at least $100 value (gift cards to local businesses).

RACE DAY FOOD:
After you have completed your race enjoy some chili at Dogwood Shelter!

PARKING
There is a limited amount of parking inside Hawthorn Park. Enter the park, turn left and utilize the first parking lot just north of the Dogwood Shelter (you cannot utilize the parking lot at Dogwood as this is where the finish line setup is).

There is additional parking on the west side of the park entrance, but please note this is part of the 10K course and there will be runners and walkers utilizing this stretch until after 11AM. The majority of the parking is located ACROSS the road from the park entrance. This is grass parking.
